Check out some of the comments from the 2023 workshop attendees:
- I thought this workshop was great. It was engaging, interactive and stacks of strategies were discussed/used which will help as a leader, but also act as a good reminder of what we need to do in our own classes too.
- I was highly impressed with the quality of this PD. It was engaging, insightful and well managed.
- I really liked it and it was absolutely relevant to the leadership role. Jason was honest, blunt and relatable.
